This week’s “Glee” episode, which featured the hottest kisses from Kurt (Chris Colfer) and Blaine (Darren Criss), as well as the regionals, was the highest rated show on TV that night. It brought in nearly 11 million viewers and helped Fox become the most watched network of the evening. Honestly, I can’t get those kisses out of my mind. And of course, the original music was amazing – both the serious ones and the ones thrown in for comedy. Hopefully that would tide me over until the show returns for the back 6 episodes in a month. Why must they go on hiatus?

Rosie O’Donnell was reduced to tears as she discovered her family’s history stretched back to an impoverished Irish workhouse. The comedienne broke down after finding out that her great-grandparents had lived in extreme poverty before emigrating to Canada during the Irish Potato Famine. O’Donnell flew to Ireland’s County Kildare to research her family history as part of the NBC show Who Do You Think You Are?. “It is really sad to know that your own relatives suffered in this kind of way. It is so sad, overwhelmingly sad, so sad that it has given me a stomach ache,” O’Donnell said after her visit to a workhouse similar to the one her relatives stayed in. “I only knew one thing, that I had a mother who died, and that felt like an unlivable, unbearable tragedy. “But now I think to myself that her life existed because of the suffering and pain of these people. “It does not diminish my own suffering but it’s no longer the focal point of my existence. I think that is a gift.”

US comedian Tina Fey has insisted that she is not a crazy working mother ‘witch’. The 30 Rock star opened up in this week’s New Yorker about juggling her career and being a mother, in an article titled Confessions of a Juggler. The 40-year-old is mum to Alice, five, with husband Jeff Richmond, and says that people often wonder how she does it all. She joked: “Sometimes I just hand them a juicy red apple I’ve poisoned in my working-mother witch cauldron and fly away.” She continued to speak about how controversial the issue has become. Fey said: “It is less dangerous to draw a cartoon of Allah French-kissing Uncle Sam… than it is to speak honestly about working mums.” Tina also discussed the stigma attached to older women working in Hollywood. She said: “I know older men in comedy who can barely feed and clean themselves, and they still work. “The women, though, they’re all ‘crazy.’ I have a suspicion that the definition of ‘crazy’ in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no one wants to f*** her anymore.”

It’s cruel and unnecessary!” The actress was promoting her new cabaret show In My Life.

Camille Grammer’s rep has hinted she could be considering leaving The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The model, who is thrashing out a divorce settlement with estranged husband Kelsey Grammer, is reportedly giving serious thought to not returning to the reality show for a second season. Her spokesman Howard Bragman told People: “She has not made any decision yet about whether she’s returning to the show or not. She taped a very explosive reunion episode yesterday, where people are going to see a different side of her than they’ve seen before. Camille’s situation has changed since the show began. She did the show because Kelsey wanted her to do it and now she’s a single mother raising two kids. Her life has changed and she has a lot of new responsibilities. She’s also in the middle of negotiating a divorce settlement, so this is not the time for her to make a decision about the show.”
